News: Sony reveals a new game for their VR platform where you become a pioneer on a mysterious planet that you have crash landed on.

Earlier today during Paris Games Week Sony revealed that they have teamed up with Crytek on a new project. Combining the immersion made possible by PlayStation VR (formerly known as Morpheus) and the power of CryEngine, Crytek revealed that they will be bringing “Robinson: The Journey” exclusively to the PlayStation 4 virtual reality system.

Developed by Crytek, Robinson: The Journey invites players to become pioneers as they crash-land on a mysterious planet and set out to uncover the rich secrets it conceals. The game is being crafted to capitalize on the potential of PlayStation VR, and will empower gamers to explore the world around them with an entirely new degree of freedom. The cooperation between Sony and Crytek also underscores the versatility of CryEngine for other developers looking to unleash their ideas on powerful VR hardware.

Crytek’s Director of Production, David Bowman, said: “PlayStation VR is the ideal platform for Robinson: The Journey. Our work with Sony so far has made it clear that they want to deliver the most immersive and unique home VR experiences imaginable to gamers, and we’re working hard to make sure Robinson fits that description perfectly.”
